TELL CITY—North Posey out-gained Tell City in rushing and passing, defeating the Marksmen 42-20 in PAC football Friday.
North Posey scored on three of its first four possessions, racing to a 21-point lead in the first half.
The Vikings ran the ball eight times for 65 yards on their first drive, with Wes Harness scoring the touchdown on a 23-yard run.
Tell City lost a total of 2 yards on its first three plays and had to punt from its own 18-yard line.

PAOLI—Using a variety of weapons, Paoli amassed 414 total yards in a 30-6 PLAC football victory over Perry Central Friday.
The Rams rushed for 255 yards on 45 carries and completed 9 of 16 passes for 159 yards.
Quarterback Lee Wro-blewski, who had been sidelined two weeks with an injury, did most of the passing. But he also caught a 38-yard pass from Garrett Strange—and looked healthy doing it—late in the first half to set up a field goal by Strange.

LINCOLN CITY—Tell City won No. 1 singles and No. 2 doubles titles to tie for second in Heritage Hills’ four-team boys tennis tourney Saturday.
Anjan Kashyab took the No. 1 singles title. He avenged a loss from three days earlier as he beat Gibson Southern’s Cody Mann 2-6, 6-3, 10-7 (a super tiebreaker was used instead of a third set) in the first round.
Kashyab then beat Dugan Kippenbrock of Heritage Hills 6-1, 6-2 for the title.

JASPER—Jasper’s cross country invitational is always a good sectional preview, as it is run on the same course as the sectional will be two weeks later and nearly all the sectional teams compete in it.
It also gives first-year varsity runners a chance to get familiar with the sectional course before the sectional.
If they get that chance this year, though, it will have to be in practice, as the invitational was canceled Tuesday.
Jasper officials notified teams at 10 a.m. that the races would not be run.

TELL CITY—Two of Tell City’s three seniors scored goals on senior night, but it wasn’t enough as the Marksmen lost to North Posey 7-2 in PAC boys soccer Tuesday.
Matthew Cole and Hunter Sandage scored the Marksmen’s goals.
Tell City scored the first goal just five minutes into the game and trailed only 3-2 at halftime.
“The second half was a much more physical game and we started to wear down,” said Tell City Coach Austin Fischer.
The Marksmen finished the regular season 1-10-2 overall and 1-5 in the PAC.

CANNELTON—Tecumseh used more bump, set, spikes to beat Cannelton 25-11, 25-13, 25-10 in volleyball Tuesday.
“I have no doubt in my mind that we can play with them,” Cannelton Coach Felicia Myers said of the Bulldogs’ possible sectional opponent. “But we didn’t set the ball up again and they did every time.
“When we did set it up, we had kills.”
Allicyn Garrett made three kills to lead the Bulldogs. Mikah Hemmings and Brook Blankenship each made three blocks.
Taylor Lawalin made 13 sets, but the Bulldogs’ setting game was hurt by the absence of their other setter, Jackie Malone.

BEDFORD—Aaron Pierrard placed 10th in 16:36 to lead Perry Central to sixth among 27 teams in the Ted Cox Invitational boys cross country meet Saturday.
Other Perry Central scorers were Alex Newton, 15th in 16:41; Bryce Lain, 27th in 17:02; Nathan Schwartz, 63rd in 17:39; and Nathan Bashor, 73rd in 17:49.
Bashor ran his first race since sitting out two weeks with a hip injury.
Tell City finished 12th, led by sophomore Donovan Ingle, who was 52nd in 17:26.

MITCHELL—Perry Central used a balanced spiking attack to beat Mitchell 25-8, 25-12, 25-13 in PLAC volleyball Tuesday.
Sydney Goffinet led the Commodores with eight kills and Ashley Gengelbach, Hannah Harpenau and Jordan Sprinkle each added seven.
Sprinkle also made five blocks. Gengelbach added four and Grace James two.
James had 20 assists and made a team-high eight digs. Brittany Parker added seven digs and Jennifer Kemp made six.
Harpenau served nine aces and James and Kemp each added three.
Perry Central improved to 3-1 in the conference and 19-5 overall.

POSEYVILLE—North Posey, which will host Tell City Friday at 7:30 p.m., will be the best football team the Marksmen have faced this season, Tell City Coach Ryan George said Monday.
The Vikings, ranked No. 5 in the state in the Class 2A AP poll and No. 6 in the coaches’ poll, are 6-0 overall and 5-0 in the PAC as they threaten to run away with the conference title. Their average winning margin is 42-10 and their only close game has been a 34-27 win at Heritage Hills.

PAOLI—Paoli is 5-1 in football games it has played this year, including 3-0 in the PLAC.
But because the Rams opted not to play conference foe Crawford County this season, PLAC officials are calling that a conference loss for the Rams.
Thus Perry Central, 2-0 in the PLAC, can clinch a tie for the conference title with a win in Friday’s 7 p.m. game with Paoli even though the Commodores still have two conference games after that.
